("tutorial_3_msg_1", "{!}This tutorial is intended to give you an overview of parrying and defence without a shield. Parrying attacks with your weapon is a little bit more difficult than blocking them with a shield. When you are defending with a weapon, you are only protected from one direction, the direction in which your weapon is set. If you are blocking upwards, you will parry any overhead swings coming against you, but you will not stop thrusts or attacks to your sides. Either of these attacks would still be able to hit you. That's why, in order to survive without a shield, you must learn directional defence. Go pick up the quarterstaff by pressing the F key now to begin practice."),
("tutorial_3_msg_2", "{!}By default, the direction in which you defend (by clicking and holding your right mouse button) is determined by the attack direction of your closest opponent. For example, if your opponent is readying a thrust attack, pressing and holding the right mouse button will parry thrust attacks, but not side or overhead attacks. You must watch your opponent carefully and only initiate your parry AFTER the enemy starts to attack. If you start BEFORE he readies an attack, you may parry the wrong way altogether! Now it's time for you to move on to the next room, where you'll have to defend yourself against an armed opponent. Your task is to defend yourself successfully for twenty seconds with no equipment other than a simple quarterstaff.

Your glory days are over and you no longer speak of them, though you still have your memories; little enough recompense for all those years of fighting for a lost cause.

The grateful villagers accept you as one of their own, and you make your living training the village militia and do a bit of farming. You marry a village {reg63?lass:lad} and raise a flock of sturdy peasant children who never tire of your tales of the battles you fought and the enemies you vanquished.

The men of the {s9} garrison patronize your tavern and enjoy hearing your tales of victorious battles against overwhelming odds though they take them with a grain of salt.

You now own several warehouses in {s9}, your caravans traverse Pendor and your ships carry heavy cargos to and from Barclay. You marry the trader's {reg63?daughter:son} and train up your children as good little merchants.

You are careful to stay on good terms with your vassals and your neighbor kings and are ever vigilant against future threats to Pendor. Not having a taste for administration, you kept {s8} and awarded the rest to your faithful companions and vassals.

Lords who once sneered at you now curry your favor because you outrank them and still have the reputation of dealing effectively and fatally with insults.

Luckily, you are both fair and just, and never abuse your position. You always remember your humble beginnings, though now every luxury available is yours for the asking. You reward loyalty and swiftly punish wrongdoing and the people love you for it. Still, you know how quickly a throne can be lost, and never relax your vigilance.

The Order of the Dawn put to the stake one of our most venerable brothers, then took to burning peasants and nobility, setting villages afire and other atrocities. I came to Pendor with the Order of Eventide.  I did not realize then that they are followers of the evil goddess, Erida Occisor and Heretics.  If my Order locates me, I will be killed in a hideous way for my defection."),

I am the younger son of a high Lord in Barclay, Ferenc the Noxious, come to Pendor like many other knights to make my name and fortune. I was dodging a party of those sanctimonious Twits of the Dawn, when I tripped over the girl. You don't happen to know if they're headed in this direction, do you? If so, I must depart immediately, and I'd advise you to do the same.

Mettenheim was invaded by Barclay, while we were in the grip of a great famine.  I accompanied the Count of Mettenheim, my General, to Pendor to secure trade agreements for food, and perhaps make an agreement for the lease of arable land. We have much to offer in trade, since our specialty is smelting and the casting of all things metal.  Unfortunately, we were first shipwrecked, then those not drowned were massacred by a large band of Snake Cultists."),
("npc_ediz_backstory_a", "I am Ediz, a Singalian, as you have surmised.  We are a simple people and our code is equally simple: We fight to the death in battle and never retreat.

I have come to Pendor to regain through battle the honor I lost with my lord, who fled like a cur and disgraced us all."),

For the first time in my life, I ran away to save myself, after the last of my band was killed."),

We came to Pendor to buy Noldor artifacts, with the idea of making a profit by trading along the way.  Our caravan was attacked outside Laria by a Jatu warband.

When the abbot let that slip, I packed up what I could, left my father's house and am now in search of more manly pursuits."),

("npc_kassim_backstory_b", "Since the days of my great, great grandfather, my people have had blood feud with the tribe of Yusafzai, who squat in the next valley over from ours.  Many men have died in this feud, including two of my brothers.  The Bahadur Khan himself ordered us to cease this blood feud, to save men for fighting the wars in Pendor.  I, however, honor my duty to my tribe, and my brothers' blood cried out for vengeance.  I waylaid and killed two Yusafzai on a track in the mountains.  I then rode out of our village that same night, without even bidding farewell to my father.  I will wait a year or two, then return home after the Khan's men have forgotten me.  The Yusafzai will not forget, of course, as our blood feuds never end until all of the enemy are dead."),

This, of course, meant that my duelling partners found our excercises fatal rather too often for Ilthilrandir.  After the demise of one of his favorite nephews, he exiled me.  I have frequently found employment amongst your lords as an assassin - so many of them seem to dislike one another, don't they?  Unfortunately, my latest employer failed to produce the coin promised when I completed my task, and has set his men after me to eliminate his debt."),
("npc_jocelyn_backstory_b", "The Order of Eventide has despatched one of its most experienced and ruthless knights to discover my whereabouts and either forcibly return me to them, or kill me in the attempt.  I desperately need to join a good company, both to fight the Heretics and for protection from this knight who is close on my heels.  My funds are exhausted; I have had to sell my warsteed.  I suppose my armor will be next, and then I shall have to disguise myself as a peasant."),
("npc_alistair_backstory_b", "As you doubtless know, the Order of the Dawn was tactfully expelled from Barclay, because of the atrocities they committed upon the populace there: burning villages, putting peasants, merchants and even the nobility to death by fire to 'cleanse' them of what those zealots deemed their 'sins.'  They consider trivialities such as a peasant spitting as they pass by, Astraea's shrines not precisely facing the rising sun, or shrines improperly cleaned executable offenses.  Not unnaturally, we nobles were annoyed by their wasteful destruction of our villages and peasantry.  I must join a strong commander who also detests them, as they are far too strong for a single knight to tackle. I'm sure you'll agree that they are as much a blight on Pendor as ever they were on Barclay."),

My father, before he died, was an Order Knight as well and I, his sole heir, was expected to fulfill his oath to the Order.  My mentor, Sir Leodred, died last winter, sword in hand, defending innocents from their would-be predators.  Ever since, I have been searching for a way to revive my Order, even though we are outlawed in Ravenstern."),
("npc_julia_backstory_b", "I am a twin, and my brother was named Julius.  My father was a sergeant in the service of a noble house in Janos.  He was a strict disciplinarian, hard on his men, and harder on his family, especially Julius and me.  He drilled us with sword, crossbow and spear, saying it was important that we be able to defend ourselves.  After Lord Marius took the throne, my father came home less and less, explaining that his duties had increased.  When he was home, he was surly and silent.  Then, when Julius and I were seventeen, he began taking Julius with him on duty.  Shortly thereafter, I found that the 'noble Lady' my father guarded was a Serpent Priestess.  Dad and Julius were thugs who kidnapped innocent people for her purposes.  When I confronted Julius about it, he tried to kill me."),

I confess to an affection for Pendor, so for the past several years have visited its towns and castles, earning good coin with my talents."),
("npc_donavan_backstory_b", "I am the second son of a Barclay noble, whom you've likely not heard of, since my land is far away.  I came to seek my fortune in Pendor, training men in the art of battle.  Unfortunately, the lord here in {s20} disapproves of the disciplinary methods needed to turn rabble into soldiers.  I told him it was wiser to flog them now rather than bury them later, but he refused to listen, and advised me to take my services elsewhere."),
("npc_diev_backstory_b", "I spent most of my youth in the back alleys of Rane, fighting and stealing, getting beaten for it by my father when he caught me.  Once I was older, I took to hunting in the Lord's preserve, sharing the game I killed with the poor in Rane.  I decided there must be more to life than poaching, so I signed on to fight with the Guard.  We were ambushed one day, escorting my Lord to Poinsbruk, by a group of Renegade Knights, and all the Guard were killed but me.  My Lord, who ran like a rabbit from the fray, accused me of deserting the Guard during battle, because I was the only one still alive.  In truth, I was knocked unconcious and woke up surrounded by my dead mates.  So, he had me drummed out of the Guard in disgrace."),
("npc_alyssa_backstory_b", "I will add that I have few resservations about fighting memberss of my cult.  After all, they will feel no compunctionss at killing me, now that I have left them.  In termss of my accomodation within your troop, you should know that we of the Snake Cult are vegetarians and prefer organic food.  I will eat no meat and I do not drink wine."),

I was studious as a boy, and with the help of our village priest, I made my way to Barclay to enter the Order of the Dawn.  The Order educated me and trained me in both tactics and weapons. Now, however, my Order has outlawed me and put a price upon my head.  I had to leave my Order; I could no longer tolerate the crimes they perpetrated in Astraea's name.  She came to me in a dream and told me I was her last true Knight and must guide the Order back to its true purpose.  I confess, I have no clue as to how to do it, particularly since they intend to burn me."),
("npc_kaverra_backstory_b", "I started as 'prentice to a rope-maker, see, saved my denars, got myself a start as a peddler.  I was takin' some of my old master's rope to market when I got caught by eight Vanskerry Raiders.  You know what they do with women captives."),
("npc_sigismund_backstory_b", "Claire was fed up with the raids and decided to do something about them.  We'd known one other since childhood, and when the men laughed at her plans, she came to me.  I knew she was right, and together we began raising a militia to fight those thieving bastards.  A few lads from our village joined up, and then we went from place to place, speechifying and gathering volunteers.  Claire said Astraea was helping us, and just laughed when the men started calling her 'Saint Claire.'"),

I am highly skilled with blade and lance, have a fine warsteed and will fight under your command for suitable remuneration.  I am also trained in tactics and siegework. I will not, however, serve under a bleeding-heart who shows mercy to those murdering bastards of the Dawn, so if you are in league with them, I withdraw my offer to join you."),

("npc_sara_backstory_c", "Which reminds me, I find myself in a slightly difficult predicament, due to a misunderstanding.  A rather handsome young man has become infatuated with me, and is relentless in pursuit of his desires.  I must leave this town immediately, as the young man is the Lord's son.

Before I left the Order of the Dawn, I excelled in all aspects of my training, and was elevated to the rank of Paladin.

("npc_kaverra_backstory_c", "Couple days later, they got some ale as loot, and 'course the greedy hogs drank it all on the spot.

Our loot armed and equipped us right, and we kept things downright safe over a fair area for a couple of years.  They started calling me the 'Hero of Madigan' as our fame spread.  Anyway, our success along the coast caught the attention of a powerful Vanskerry Jarl, who decided to take us down.  My men were mowed down like hay.  My brave Claire refused to give up, and challenged the jarl to single combat.  He killed my love in less than ten minutes, despite the fierce fight she put up."),

("npc_kaverra_retirement_speech", "Captain, I got enough loot put by to start up again as a peddler.  You know that's all I wanted, anyhow, and thanks to you, I got skills enough to keep from being raided without one hell of a fight.  So, I think I'll be off and try my hand at trading again.  Maybe we'll meet up again one of these days."),

("npc_leslie_rehire_speech", "{reg63?Sir:Madam}, I've been looking for you everywhere!  I bought a load of goods, and took them back to Barclay.  But, without my brother I had no reason to stay, so I've returned here to my true friends.  Tavern gossip has it that you've done very well for yourself.  So tell me, {reg63?Sir:Madam}, may I return to you as quartermaster?"),
("npc_ansen_rehire_speech", "Hello, {reg63?Sir:Madam}! It is very good to see you again.  I have not fared well since we parted, I'm afraid.  My abbot was not very welcoming.  I receive nothing but lectures from my father and brothers.  I am better suited to war than to commerce, to sharing meals over a campfire with fellow soldiers than sipping wine with the burghers of Cez. {reg63?Sir:Madam}, will you please take me back?"),
("npc_riva_rehire_speech", "Why hello, Captain, you've done well for yourself, I hear.  Since we parted, I've been unsuccessful at making my name and fattening my purse.  I know there's been bad blood between us, but if you can forget that, I'd be honored to fight in your ranks once again."),
("npc_kassim_rehire_speech", "{reg63?Bahadur:Bibi}, your fame grows ever greater and has spread throughout my homeland.  I went home, hoping that the Bahadur Khan had forgotten my little exploit, but alas, he has not.  Before I reached the Pamirs, word came from my family that both the Khan's men and the Yusafzai were looking for me.  I have returned, hoping to fight in your warband once more."),
("npc_lethaldiran_rehire_speech", "Captain, how delightful to bump into you again.  I have not received sufficient commisions to make a decent living.  The loot with your company was far better, and I would like to join you again."),
("npc_jocelyn_rehire_speech", "Well met, {reg63?Sir:Madam} Captain!  I've discovered that there are more benefits to being under the command of a good Captain than there are in commanding a troop.  If you'll have me back, I should like to rejoin you."),
("npc_alistair_rehire_speech", "My Grand Master thought my departure from you overhasty and has ordered me to find and rejoin you.  I trust you will welcome my return?"),
("npc_rayne_rehire_speech", "Captain, it is good to see you again.  I sought service with several lords, but have been most disappointed in them.  They ask me to collect debts from their fellow lords, as though I were a banker's errand boy, or order me to chase down their runaway serfs, as though I were a farm overseer.  One even asked me to murder one of his creditors!  I have looked for you, to ask if I might join you again."),
("npc_julia_rehire_speech", "{reg63?Lord:Madam} Captain, it is so good to see you!  I found I'd no taste for staying in once place all the time.  Breaking up tavern brawls is much more dangerous than fighting a battle!  I'm a soldier now, for better or worse.   So tell me, Captain, are you looking for more troops at the moment?"),
("npc_frederick_rehire_speech", "I begin to despair, Mijn Commandant.  When I went to join the latest Mettenheim delegation, I arrived too late.  They fell afoul of a band of Heretics and were all slaughtered.  Is it possible that I might rejoin your troop?"),
("npc_ediz_rehire_speech", "When I returned to my home tents, all were deserted.  Only one old man remained, half-crazed, but he finally told me the entire clan had left for the deep desert to join some fanatic named Burilig.  May I rejoin the troop?"),
("npc_sara_rehire_speech", "Hello there, O Valorous One.  I've been hoping you'd appear again.  Everywhere I go, I hear tales and songs of your deeds.  I admit to feeling a trifle jealous of your renown, but I've since regretted our parting.  I'd like once again to fight by your side, to add my moon's silver light to the gold of your sun.  Shall we ride together again, if only for a little while?"),
("npc_donavan_rehire_speech", "Captain, it's good to see you.  When last we parted, I'd have sworn by all the little gods that I'd not serve under you again, but perhaps I judged you too harshly.  All over Pendor, men sing your praises.  I have tried serving in other lords' armies, and believe me, what I have seen of them raises my opinion of your leadership.  If you'll have me in your company, I'll fight for you again."),
("npc_diev_rehire_speech", "Commander, glad I bumped into you again.  By the time I got back to Rane, my mother was already dead, and my father was going fast.  The business had gone to hell, too, and I had to sell off what was left to pay their debts.  Now I'm looking for work again - are you by any chance hiring just now?"),
("npc_alyssa_rehire_speech", "That letter from my cult wass a trap, Captain, and I narrowly esscaped with my life.  I sshall not make ssuch a misstake again, if you will let me sserve with you again."),
("npc_roland_rehire_speech", "My good {reg63?Sir:Madam} Captain, I regret parting company with you.  I realize that I judged you and your men too harshly, by knightly standards, and failed to take into account that your men are simply soldiers.  I have heard of your recent exploits and wished I had been again amongst your valiant company.  Would you consider permitting me to rejoin you?"),
("npc_kaverra_rehire_speech", "Hey, Captain, been lookin' for you all over.  Peddling's kinda boring, and I ain't hardly had a chance to use my Man Opener since I left the troop.  You hirin' again?  Just sharpened up my Man Opener the other day."),
("npc_sigismund_rehire_speech", "Commander, glad you turned up here today.  Even as I was leaving, I knew in my heart I'd never make a farmer again.  I went back to Vezin, started working my land, and realized I was meant to plant dead men, not seeds, into the ground.  Claire's sister is married now, too, she's had three brats and run to fat."),
("npc_boadice_rehire_speech", "Hello, Captain.  I returned to Veccavi only to find that my sister had consoidated her power most efficiently. My gold was insufficient to hire enough men to fight her, and I once again had to flee my island.  Will you have me in your company again?"),
("npc_adonja_home_intro", "They call them the Mystmountains because, most days, the mist rises so thick on the ground of a morning, you can hardly see your hand before your face.  Then the sun burns through the rising haze, and the purple peaks appear beyond."),
("npc_leslie_home_intro", "Javiksholm's where my brother and I landed when we first arrived in Pendor.  Our hopes were so high and we couldn't wait to start travelling and trading."),
("npc_ansen_home_intro", "Can you smell that?  Lemon trees, apples and saffron crocus flowers, the scents of Ethos.  I spent many a happy summer here when I was studying with the abbot."),
("npc_riva_home_intro", "Ah, the Woods of Laria.  This place has all sorts of evil creatures lurking in its shadows.  There are even shapeshifters here, if you can believe the old tales."),
("npc_kassim_home_intro", "{reg63?Bahadur:Bibi}, we are nearing Singal, the largest town in the lower steppe.  My mother's sister's husband's cousin came here to marry a townsman.  I escorted her, thinking to take service with the Khan of Singal.  That, of course, was prior to my small misunderstanding with the Bahadur Khan and the Yusafsai."),
("npc_lethaldiran_home_intro", "Hmm, we're a trifle close to my home territory for my comfort, but I admit I've missed these woods.  I hunted here often as a lad."),
("npc_jocelyn_home_intro", "This is a fine town, filled with handsome houses and prosperous burghers, with a rich trade in furs.  I have missed the snows of Barclay."),
("npc_alistair_home_intro", "I miss our Barclay banquets.  My father used to order criminals and other riffraff tortured during his feasts, and their shrieks of agony quite stimulated my appetite.  His torturer was exceptionally skilfull."),
("npc_rayne_home_intro", "Behold the walls of Rane, the strongest fortress in all Pendor.  My father spent many summers here, jousting for the honor of the Knights of the Falcon in the tournaments held here.  He won ten tournaments straight in his youth, a record that stands to this day."),
("npc_julia_home_intro", "Ah! Do you smell that fresh air, Captain?  This was my home, before I left under the circumstances we previously discussed.  It's good to be here again, though it brings me bittersweet memories.  Somewhere near is the cave I hid in, the first month after I left Janos."),
("npc_frederick_home_intro", "There is too much fresh air in Pendor.  I miss the smoke and acrid scents of smelting ore, the clang of weapons being forged.  I find I do not care for the odors of dung and fresh-plowed earth."),
("npc_ediz_home_intro", "In the deep desert, the vistas are endless; an eternity of sand broken only by gusts of wind, the tracks of sandsnakes and bones left by the vultures.  It is stark, but very beautiful."),
("npc_sara_home_intro", "Ah, such a lovely spot, here by the deep lake.  I spent many a happy day here, the summer before last."),
("npc_donavan_home_intro", "Do you see that fortress over there?  I spent a winter there some years back, trying to train the lord's men."),
("npc_diev_home_intro", "Rane's a fine town, for all the poor outnumber the rich by fifty to one.  I had some fine times with what a lord would call 'riffraff' here, I can tell you.  Each time I shot a wild boar or a deer in the Lord's preserve, we'd feast in the alleys."),
("npc_alyssa_home_intro", "I miss the Sserpent Temple, with its undulating carvingss and the quiet there. I also greatly miss my little pet.  He wass emerald color, with ssilvery eyes and coiled about my neck like a necklace more beautiful than any jewel."),
("npc_roland_home_intro", "I was born near Cez, as I may have told you.  It's a beautiful city, bustling with traders, with the lapping of the waves as background music.  Marius has done much for it, most particularly in his efforts to drive out the accursed Snake Cult.  Our shrines are to Damia Provideo, the original Pendor godesss."),
("npc_kaverra_home_intro", "We're near my home village, Captain.  It's just a fishing village, but we made a good living before the Raiders started coming so often.  Jayek has a fleet of twenty fishing boats, you know, the biggest village fleet in the Fierdsvain."),
("npc_sigismund_home_intro", "That's my village, just over the next hill.  I can smell the new-turned earth already; they must be plowing today.  Thanks to us in no small part, they can plow in safety, with a fair chance of getting a good harvest from their labors."),
("npc_boadice_home_intro", "The longer I stay in this revolting land, the more I miss my island.  Our weather was quite temperate, and I slept each night with the sound of waves for a lullaby.  I should like to command an army again, as well, rather than simply being a common trooper."),
("npc_adonja_home_description", "Vejovis appears in the form of a mountain cat, but only to our shamans.  When the shamans see Vejovis, they know he's telling us it's time for another foray, and he'll watch over us while we're raiding."),
("npc_leslie_home_description", "People say the Fierdsvainers are barbarians, but they have good heads for trade.  The people up and down the coast grow flax, which they weave into linen.  It can't compete with Janos silks and velvets as a luxury fabric, but it makes good summertime wear, as well as sails for ships.  Linen was one of the few goods that someone else in Pendor wasn't already making."),
("npc_ansen_home_description", "Ethos has wet winters and hot summers, but the people here build great cisterns to water their crops.  They grow wonderful grapes - Ethosian wine is famous, my {reg63?Lord:Lady}.  Those who can afford it have walled gardens, where fruit trees grow in abundance.  We'd sit at night listening to music, or playing chess, or just enjoying the sweet scents of the night air."),
("npc_riva_home_description", "The King of Sarleon declared this to be his personal hunting preserve, and said he'd hang anyone who as much as strung a bow here.  What's the result?  A family grows hungry, and the father poaches to feed them.  The Lord's Sheriff hangs him, and takes his land.  His sons, rather than starve, turn bandit.  Naturally, anyone in the valley escaping a debt, a nagging wife or a vengeful noble comes up here and joins them, living on wild pigs, berries and the purses of unwary travelers."),
("npc_kassim_home_description", "The D'Shar have long come here, to trade and raid, and in the last days of the Kingdom of Pendor, we began to settle.  Our ancestors took the King's coin to keep the other tribes at bay.  We began trading and built settlements to protect our markets.  Those settlements became the cities that you see today.  Odd that a nomadic people could tolerate living in the same place for even a week, let alone centuries."),
("npc_lethaldiran_home_description", "I do find it difficult being surrounded by humans, rather than amongst my own kind.  Have you any idea how foul most of you smell?  Noldor cleanliness standards are vastly higher than those of humans."),
("npc_jocelyn_home_description", "I've grown to like snow here in Pendor, so now I enjoy crispy air and the feel of a cold day, the sound of snow crunching beneath my horse's hooves.  My energies wane in warmer climes.  It is a pleasure to ride in snow again."),
("npc_alistair_home_description", "His torturer used to flay them, layer by layer, and could make them last throughout the feast. He was quite talented.  What delightful evenings they were!"),
("npc_rayne_home_description", "I have often wondered if Rane's glory influenced my father's choice of name for me, his only son.  I never asked him, and now that he's dead, I cannot.  It is a fine name though, don't you think?  Too bad that I am the last, both of my Knighthood Order and of my line.  I alone am charged by the gods to restore my order, and I cannot rest until I have done so."),
("npc_julia_home_description", "It was one of the most frightening times of my life.  The Snake Cult was everywhere back then, currying favor with their foul God in revolting ways.  No one was safe.  Marius changed all of that, and good for him.  He is the only noble I'd say is worth a damn.  Still, I don't doubt he has an evil side as well. All nobles keep dark secrets and stain their souls with treachery."),
("npc_frederick_home_description", "I would give much to see Mettenheim again, to walk its rocky tracks, to see our great volcano belching smoke to rival the smoke of our forges."),
("npc_ediz_home_description", "I'd like to ride once again across the desert with my clanbrothers at my side, rivalling the wind itself with our speed."),
("npc_sara_home_description", "Once, I came here with small group of friends for a picnic.  There were ten of us, two ladies, seven young lords and me.  We were attacked by a coven of Heretics, who thought we'd be easy pickings.  Two of the lads fled straight away and the others proved no match for the coven.  The two young ladies and I were left with five bloodthirsty Heretics who planned to sacrifice us on the spot.  The only sacrifices made that day were the lives of those Heretics!"),
("npc_donavan_home_description", "I say 'trying' because, in my opinion, the men of Ravenstern don't understand discipline.  They are undoubtedly the finest archers in Pendor, and good riders too, but they've no talent for fighting in ranks.  Their skills serve them well enough against bandits and Mystmountain Raiders, and against an army when they're behind walls.  Get them outside the walls, though, and a company of heavy lances can cut through a Ravenstern formation like a knife through butter.  For my money, the Empire produces the best soldiers.  Their Pikemen and Legionnaires are the most disciplined soldiers I have encountered outside Barclay."),
("npc_diev_home_description", "It's a crime, it is, that a few in Rane are so rich, when so many go hungry every day.  I despise those fat Lords and merchants, who sit gorging on food they don't need, while brats in the alleys cry from hunger and steal garbage to eat."),
("npc_alyssa_home_description", "We sspend our days in quiet contemplation of the greatness of Azi Dahaka, broken only by forays to obtain fressh ssacrifices."),
("npc_roland_home_description", "We were on our way to the Harvest Festival when the Serpents took my parents.  I still remember those festivals, Damia's shrine heaped with ripe ears of corn, everyone celebrating the end of a good harvest.  Musicians came from miles around and there was dancing in the town square at night."),
("npc_kaverra_home_description", "My granfer used special woods to smoke our fish, gave it a taste no other smoked fish had, and brought us a better price from the traders.  I heard tell that even the King used to ask for Jayek smoked fish for his table.  Far's I'm concerned, if I never eat another fish, it'll be too soon."),
("npc_sigismund_home_description", "I'd give all I have, if I could once again be a simple village farmer.  End of the day, I'd take my Claire's hand and lead her home, and never leave.  If she even mentioned soldiering, I'd shut her mouth with a kiss right quick, and tell her home's the place for people like us."),
("npc_boadice_home_description", "A balmy wind would carry the rattle of palm fronds and the scent of our gardens throughout the city.  I was given only the greatest respect by our male slaves, utterly unlike the disrespect shown me by the ungelded clods here in Pendor."),
("npc_adonja_home_description_2", "The feel of an icy mist on your face wakes you up right in the morning.  I'm tired of warm weather.  I'd like to see the snow on my mountains again."),
("npc_leslie_home_description_2", "My brother and I had saffron, cinnamon, cloves, pepper and other spices and a chest full of denars.  From Javiksholm, we travelled towards Laria, to trade for Noldor artifacts and pottery.  We estimated that, even if we couldn't find artifacts, we could buy linens, furs, velvet, iron and wool, the extra horses to carry them back to Javiksholm, and still make a profit.  If only we'd taken the Jatu into account!"),
("npc_ansen_home_description_2", "The poets call Ethos a paradise, and I think that, for once, they do not take poetic license."),
("npc_riva_home_description_2", "I know this because I was taken by bandits, and held for ransom, but I got away.  That's really all there is to tell."),
("npc_kassim_home_description_2", "Our famous D'Shar warrior poet, Khushal Khan Khattack was born here.  This is one of the best lines from his immortal verse: 'My soul rejoices as my scimitar reddens, sticky with the blood of my enemies; I gain strength from my kills and my wounds are as nothing.  I laugh with delight as the vultures devour their rotting dead.'"),
("npc_lethaldiran_home_description_2", "I also miss our music - your clumsy pipes and whistles cannot compare to a Noldor flute, and your croaking is by and large unmelodious."),
("npc_jocelyn_home_description_2", "In Barclay as a child, I greatly enjoyed snowball fights.  It snows rarely there, so a snowstorm is always a special event to us."),
("npc_alistair_home_description_2", "I made full use of our right of jus primae noctis in our villages, as well, since dear Pater was a trifle past such activities, due to his drinking habits.  I can safely say that even the plainest virgins went to their marriage beds considerably more experienced than they came to mine.  Even the fat ones had a certain cushiony appeal, and they were soft to sleep on when I was done with them."),
("npc_rayne_home_description_2", "I spent most of my life in the hall of our Order in Rane, studying and training with sword and lance.  I still miss those days and will treasure my memories of them for the rest of my life.  Our order was outlawed when Gregory IV assumed the throne over his elder sister, Madame Ursula.  She was a knight of our Order, and none could dispute the strength of her arm.  Politics in Ravenstern were not always thus.  Under the Kings of old, many Knighthood Orders cooperated for the sake of the King and the people.  It is a pity those times have gone forever."),
("npc_julia_home_description_2", "Before Julius turned evil, we'd hike here to search the ruins for ancient artifacts.  We'd find old pottery and other interesting things when we were lucky.  Once we found an old dagger buried in the mud.  The handle had rotted away, but the blade was as clean and sharp as one new-made.  We gave it to my Dad, and I hate to think what he used it for.  I hope that priestess lady he guarded died by it.  That would be a fitting use for such a blade, wouldn't it?"),
("npc_frederick_home_description_2", "These paltry hillocks you call mountains here in Pendor cannot compare with the magnificence of our central volcano, Aysenberg, rising like a spire in the center of our island."),
("npc_ediz_home_description_2", "I long for the smell of kebab roasting over a dried dung fire, for the nutty taste the dung imparts to the meat.  I would kill for a pot of my mother's pulao."),
("npc_sara_home_description_2", "When I was done, the ladies were in hysterics and the lads were all wounded.  I concocted a tale for their sires of how their valor had saved us all.  The lads knew who the real heroine was, but were ashamed to admit that that I'd saved all their lives.  For the rest of that summer, they went in terror that I'd reveal what had really happened.  I thought to make a song about our adventure, but relented in the end, and did not."),
("npc_donavan_home_description_2", "If anyone ever unifies Pendor, I'll serve them, free of charge.  I'll sail to Barclay, hire a a few companies and bring them back here.  Barclay is more advanced than Pendor in the ways of warcraft.  A company of Barclay infantry and two companies of Barclay Lancers would make the king invicible."),
("npc_diev_home_description_2", "Still, I might go back to Rane one day, if only to see how my adoptive parents are.  They had a comfortable house and a good life there, and I might have more of a taste for that sort of life now than I had as a lad."),
("npc_alyssa_home_description_2", "I am ssick of eating only bread, cabbage and apples!  Do these Pendorians grow no vegetables at all?!"),
("npc_roland_home_description_2", "The Empire celebrates no festivals now, because those filthy Serpent Cultists are everywhere.  We must find and kill more of them, Captain, they befoul all Pendor, not just the Empire.  Though my loyalty is to my Order, now, I cannot help but mourn what the Empire has become."),
("npc_kaverra_home_description_2", "Our fishermen can find schools of fish better'n most.  They got a thing called a 'compass' that tells 'em where they are, Granfer got it from some Ravenstern trader.  Our farmland's good, too, and Thallo walks our fields each spring.  My uncle saw her once."),
("npc_sigismund_home_description_2", "I used to hope I'd see Thallo, walking my fields of an early morn, and think she'd maybe give me one of her flowers.  Her flowers make the seeds sprout quicker and the harvest heavier, you know, if she gifts a farmer with one."),

You've already proved to me that you are not the sort to go to war every five minutes like the morons who lead the Pendor factions.  If you'd further the cause of universal education as well, that would be a fine thing!"),

I must begin, um, recruiting at once!"),

A lot of the noble lords around here will think a man like me unfit to hold a fief. Those under my protection will enjoy warm houses, low taxes, and have enough to eat.

One of them erected a gallows outside his village gates, to discourage banditry.  Thus far, only his villagers have danced upon it, mostly for causing him petty annoyance.

("rumor_talk_snake_28", "he turned to me and said, 'Why is there a snake charm over your door?' and I said, I said, aaah, We are looking for you, {playername}, AND WE WILL FIND YOU! , Aah, I am sorry. What were we talking about?"),
("rumor_talk_snake_29", "he said Marius is running scared. The Snake Cult has been on the rise, and nothing the Imperator does seems to stop them. It is almost like they know his plans before he does. These days, Marius is accusing everything but the doorposts of spying."),
("rumor_talk_snake_30", "he heard from a hunter that more and more shrines to Azi Dahaka have been discovered all along the southern coast. The Snake Cult has been far more active lately, almost as if they are preparing for something."),

("rumor_talk_snake_32", "he said he was walking on the Ethos road a few weeks back and found the remains of a caravan. Its erstwhile guards had been left dead, strewn across the roadway. The cargo was smashed, but had not been looted. In the road was written in blood, 'AZI DAHAKA ADVENIO'."),
("rumor_talk_snake_33", "he said that the last caravan he guarded was attacked by snake worshipers. Huge men in green armor poured from the forest along the roadside. But, when all seemed lost, the knights pulled up short. The priestess shouted, '{playername}', and those Snakes just melted away."),
("rumor_talk_snake_34", "he told me of a legend from the old Baccus Empire. Once, long ago, agents of Azi Dahaka began raiding in greater numbers than ever before. No one was safe. Then, a mighty warlord rose among them and united the marauding worshipers into a vast army. History is a wheel, my friend. Be careful."),
("rumor_talk_sing_1", "he was told the Singalians ancestors are part D'Shar, which makes them distant cousins of the Jatu.  They all came from the Old Empire to Pendor as mercenaries."),

("rumor_talk_sing_8", "he heard from a man who travelled to trade with the Singalians that the desert where they roam is so harsh that often an entire clan is lost to a sandstorm. Any lucky survivors are sometimes accepted into another clan, so long as there is no blood feud between the clans."),
("rumor_talk_sing_9", "he was told that, despite the harsh conditions of the desert, the Singalians appear to truly enjoy riding there with their clanbrothers. They know how to survive there and where water can be found. If you really need to go to the desert, see if you can find one of them to guide you."),
("rumor_talk_sing_10", "he said he saw a merchant making plans to travel into the desert to trade with the Singalians.  The fellow must either know what he is doing or be crazy -  no one knows for sure where exactly in the desert you can find the Singalians."),

("rumor_talki_jatu_16", "he says the D'Shar historians claim the Jatu are cousins of the D'Shar tribes. Centuries ago, the D'Shar tribes migrated to Pendor from the great Kashanar Plains, far across the sea, a place now claimed by the Jatuzin."),

("rumor_talki_heretics_10", "he heard from a merchant that the corpses he saw on the road to Janos had been gnawed and the marrow sucked right out of the bones. The Koningur is trying to quash the rumor, but it is all over the markets now."),
("rumor_talki_heretics_11", "he overheard a merchant in the Windholm market say that a Heretic Confessor had been seen outside the city gates. The confessor was offering a reward for knowledge of the whereabouts of one {playername}."),
("rumor_talki_heretics_12", "he overheard talk between an ugly old woman, probably the madam of a brothel, and a hooded man, who was most likely a Heretic Priest.  He told the old bird she had best come up with more girls for the Solstice sacrifices, or she would assuredly regret it."),
("rumor_talki_heretics_13", "he heard from one of the caravan guards in the alley behind the market, that the Heretics have just killed another Caravan Master, and taken his guards and apprentices for sacrifice. One lucky apprentice managed to get away and reported the ambush."),
("rumor_talki_heretics_14", "he heard from a Barclay historian currently lecturing in the Abbey at Valonbray, that the Heretics were originally saintly priests, until they were lured into worship of the Dark Goddess. They are spreading all over Pendor now, and a certain danger to all travelers."),
("rumor_talki_heretics_15", "he heard from a farmer in the Valonbray market that the Heretic goddess has our poor Thallo Ver Shures on the run. Pity, she is a kind little goddess, for all she runs starkers through the fields waving flowers."),
("rumor_talki_heretics_16", "he swears the Heretics have portable altars, so they can instantly sacrifice their captives on the spot! What is Pendor coming to, that murdering perverts like the Heretics roam free, killing at will?!"),
("rumor_talki_heretics_17", "he heard about a group of Fierdsvain Maiden Cavalry partying in the Javiksholm tavern. The innkeeper told him he overheard them say that the Heretics are ferocious fighters, though they fill their ranks with outcasts and other rabble. The lassies seemed a mite fearful, which surprised him."),
("rumor_talki_heretics_18", "he said that one of the wharf traders, an old friend of his, is bemoaning the fact that his business is down, because the Barclay traders do not come so often to Pendor these days. He says they are afraid of those roving bands of Heretics."),
("rumor_talki_heretics_19", "he said that the innkeeper in Valonbray overheard a thinly-disguised Heretic priest say that he was most annoyed at the number of potential sacrifices killed fighting, rather than merely stunned by his men. He threatened to sacrifice his own men if they do not do better."),
("rumor_talki_heretics_20", "he said that he ran into a Squire in service to a Knight of the Dawn. The Squire confessed that he wept at their discovery of the bodies of dozens of young girls, lying next to a Heretic altar. Their hearts had been torn from their breasts. He and the Knight hunted down and slew every last one of the evil perpetrators, but he still has nightmares about the girls."),
("rumor_talki_heretics_21", "he saw a Heretic Confessor threatening a hooded man in the alley behind the castle. He said the man was so afrighted that he pissed himself, all the while bowing, scraping and pleading for another chance. "),
("rumor_talki_heretics_22", "he heard that the Windholm armorer is turning a pretty penny making armor for the Heretics on the sly. It is also rumored he gave that nagging wife of his to them for sacrifice, as she has not been seen for some weeks."),
("rumor_talki_heretics_23", "he overheard a terrified woman, pleading frantically with the city guards for help in finding her teenage daughter. Her daughter was friends with three boys who were rumored to belong to some sort of coven. All of them had disappeared without a trace."),

("rumor_talki_vanskerry_5", "he said that local rumor has it that a cousin to Inar Hairybreeks, son of his own old auntie, is amongst the latest Vanskerry Raiders captured. He is trying to persuade the Koningur to release him. He will not have much luck there!"),
("rumor_talki_vanskerry_6", "he heard in the Windholm market that the Vanskerry raids are on the increase because the Pendor pickings are so profitable for the Raiders. They raided Jayek again yesterday."),
("rumor_talki_vanskerry_7", "he said his informant overheard some Barclay merchants talking in Windholm. They say their profits are down considerably because the caravans coming to Windholm from Ravenstern get raided too often and they cannot get enough goods."),
("rumor_talki_vanskerry_8", "he heard some farmers complaining over their ale in the Valonbray tavern. They say it simply is not worth farming these days, what with raids taking all their harvested crops before they can get them to market."),
("rumor_talki_vanskerry_9", "he heard the lord say that, if rumor does not lie, all the Fierdsvain towns have been infiltrated by Vanskerry agents posing as Fierdsvain merchants! Unbelievable!"),
("rumor_talki_vanskerry_10", "he said the foreign Jarls claim that all the Fierdsvain belongs in truth to Vanskerry, and should be under their rule, since it was conquered and settled by Vanskerry Raiders."),

("rumor_talki_vanskerry_12", "he heard a man, who claimed to be an escaped Vanskerry captive, say there is a plan afoot to free all the Raider prisoners. That's all he overheard, and I don't know how much credence to give the story."),
("rumor_talki_vanskerry_13", "he heard Thomas of Rane, a trader from Ravenstern, tell of a narrow escape. His caravan hired scouts, and their outriders ran into a good-sized pack of Vanskerries. The Raiders killed all the scouts while the caravan ran for it."),
("rumor_talki_vanskerry_14", "he told me an acquaintance of his said he could scarce credit what he overheard some sailors say in the Valonbray tavern. These more frequent raids are supposedly intended to soften up the Fierdsvain in advance of full-scale Vankserry invasion!"),

("rumor_talki_vanskerry_16", "he said he heard from one of his friends, cousin to a Vanskerry, that their god, Haf Sigla, sends them winds blowing in the direction of Pendor to aid their longboats in sailing here. We need a god to send winds that blow in the opposite direction!"),
("rumor_talki_vanskerry_17", "he heard an interesting explanation of the reason behind the Vanskerry raids. Apparently, if they do not raid, they have no means of support. They are unable to farm their own cold land, so they live off the food they steal."),
("rumor_talki_vanskerry_18", "he said his grandfather came here as a Vanskerry Raider and married a Fierdsvain farm lass. Vanskerries love our rich farmland here because they have none of their own back home."),
("rumor_talki_vanskerry_19", "he said he did not know if he should pass this on or not, but anyway talk amongst some of the Fierdsvain geezers is that the Vanskerries think that life in Pendor has destroyed their cousins' strength and turned them soft and luxury-loving."),
("rumor_talki_vanskerry_20", "he told me a shocking story! A Caravan Master said that his group passed a pack of Vanskerry Raiders abusing some peasant women they'd kidnapped in a raid."),
("rumor_talki_vanskerry_21", "he heard an amusing story about the Vanskerry Raiders from the bookseller. He said they raided a Sarleon caravan carrying ale and drank it up on the spot. One of their captives got loose, tied them up and castrated every drunken one of them!"),

("rumor_talki_vanskerry_23", "he said that all the women taken by the Vanskerry Raiders, and many of the men, end up as thralls in the North. What a terrible fate!"),
("rumor_talki_red_1", "he saw two men talking in an alleyway.  He could not hear what they said, but one passed a packet, and they parted with a complicated series of hand gestures.  As they left, one of them dropped a red leather glove.  Watching them walk away, he was careful not to pick it up."),
("rumor_talki_red_2", "he spoke to a slaver last week.  It appears that well-trained soldiers have become the slave of choice on the market, because that seems to be all they are interested in purchasing.  That is odd, as high-end soldiers usually make poor galley slaves.  One loose chain and they kill their owners!"),
("rumor_talki_red_3", "he heard two badly disguised Brotherhood bullyboys talking in the tavern last night.  Someone is disrupting their harvester gangs.  He did not hear the whole discussion, but the name {playername} was bandied about quite a bit."),
("rumor_talki_red_4", "he told me that... oh, damn.  It is you!  Listen, {playername}, you need to... no, never worry about how I know you.  Just get out of town.  The Brotherhood are crawling all over this place, and they are aiming for one target:  You.  Someone is paying top dollar.  Now go.  You never saw me."),
("rumor_talki_red_5", "he found out that the Brotherhood are angling to get into the weapons trade.  They already have the slave market tied up, mostly because it is distasteful.  But weapons?  That is a new direction for the boys in red, and if they know something we are unaware of... well, I would sleep light, were I you."),
("rumor_talki_red_6", "he heard from the guild master that the blacksmith got visited by the rouge stooges last night... seems he decided not to pay for his new 'apprentice'.  Claimed the boy simply dropped in on him and wanted a job.  Poor, dumb bastard.  They broke his hammer-hand."),
("rumor_talki_red_7", "he saw it plain as day.  Three bloodyboys beating up a shopkeeper on the steps of his own house!  And the town guards... did they do aught to help?  No, they walked right on past, as blind as men can be paid to be.  Nobody even trusts the sheriff in this town any more."),
("rumor_talki_red_8", "he said to me I should never be late in paying the guards, and here I am thinking I must have hired security in my sleep, right?  But no, he was talking about the Reds!  I left Ethos to get away from those dogs... and here they set up shop in my own bloody courtyard.  A man never wins with those gits."),
("rumor_talki_red_9", "he noticed a certain, well, preference, shall we say.  With the slavers.  They have all gone from nice docile galley-strokers to myrmidons.  Suddenly soldiers are pulling top dollar.  Listen, friend.  Those Reds?  They know all the folks who know.  They are moving mercenaries, plain and simple.  What does that tell ya?"),
("rumor_talki_red_10", "he knows some folks on the inside at the Brotherhood.  Worst infighting he has ever seen.  They like to act all organized, but when was the last time you saw more that a couple of them together?  That is purely because they cannot stand each other!  Bloody taffers hate themselves as much as we do!"),
("rumor_talki_red_11", "he overheard a Buyer in the tavern talking to a bounty hunter.  Apparently someone is rather keen to buy a slave named {playername}.  The price mentioned was pretty steep.  On the other hand, I hear {reg63?he:she} captains an adventuring company.  Fat chance of the Reds tackling that, eh?"),
("rumor_talki_red_12", "he said he told the butcher that the Brotherhood act all big here in the safety of the city, but out there?  They are so much fodder, scrabbling for a few farmer captives.  They just cannot cooperate enough to pose a threat.  Next day, his house burns down.  What did we learn?  The butcher is a snitch."),
("rumor_talki_red_13", "he saw a bounty hunter with a line of slaves.  Sorry looking sods they were, too.  All stumbling and weak, unfed for days most likely.  Perfect galley-fodder, they was.  And the ruddy bugger turns them away.  Said he had no room in the pens for low rent strokers.  What, did the galleys all sink?"),
("rumor_talki_red_14", "he heard from the guildsman that two of the Brotherhood houses are feuding.  Three men have been found killed in... creative fashion.  And two more are missing.  This is better than the arena!  I would place bets, but the bookies are all Reds!"),
("rumor_talki_red_15", "he said the boys in red had been over to the granary.  Seems they decided the price there was too low, and needed doubling.  Like they would know!  They are just spooked because that caravan got whacked by the bloody snake handlers down south."),
("rumor_talki_red_16", "he has not had a good run in weeks.  The Brotherhood keep driving the price up, and no one wants to pay.  At this rate he will be running around to each little farm, buying it at the source.  Sure, its time consuming, but when was the last time the farmers cared a whistle for the Reds? "),
("rumor_talki_red_17", "he heard the Reds had been pushing for the cobbler to sign on with them.  I mean, yeah, the cobbler is a second cousin twice removed from the Seneschal, but is that enough to get offered a membership now?  Oh well, that is his funeral."),
("rumor_talki_red_18", "he saw the captain of an adventuring company troop into the tavern with a whole gang of ruddy-buddys in tow... as prisoners!  A harvester gang had tangled with the wrong company.  Did his heart no end of good to watch the Brotherhood buy back its own."),

For generations, it had been under the control of the Red Brotherhood, and many local thugs and dealers are still loyal to their former masters.

Other peasants were standing around watching, and when he asked what had happened, they replied that after the woman lost her husband, their eldest son turned to banditry to support the family.

They mentioned the names of several nearby villages, but then one suggested that instead of simply raiding, they ride into the village and turn it into their own personal kingdom.

("rumor_talki_myst_11", "he said he wanted to.... Hey, are you {playername}? Listen, whatever Aaron told you is not true. I had nothing to do with it. Pretending to be Vejovis outside that cottage was all his idea, and his doing. Funny as hell, though..."),
("rumor_talki_myst_12", "he wanted to know if I had heard anyone asking about herds of horses. I had not, of course, but I was curious as to why he asked. So then he tells me that raiders have taken the entire stock from three horse farms in the last week alone... and there is only one reason for that. They're coming, and soon."),
("rumor_talki_myst_13", "he mentioned seeing a young Mystmountain lad in the tavern last night. Seemed bright and cheerful, really. There was no trouble at first. But then old Brice got drunk and started bragging about killing raiders. And you know what? The kid just smiled. 'Vejovis knows' was all he said."),
("rumor_talki_myst_14", "he said he had seen the god manifest. Taloncrag, Silveredge, Alden... all the border forts are stockpiling food, weapons, and fresh-faced youngsters. I never asked him how he had come to see it. Doubt he would tell me anyway, but he never steered me wrong before. The lords know. The cat is awake."),
("rumor_talki_myst_15", "he told me a caravan master had brought him some troubling news. Jatu horsemen and Mystmountain raiders have been joining forces in the east. I dunno if they have an actual alliance, or if was just convenient, but travel to Poinsbruk has gotten rather chancy."),
("rumor_talki_myst_16", "he said he was taking in some air last night, when he saw a group of people moving swiftly and silently past him in the darkness. They seemed to be heading in the general direction of town. The only sound he heard was the distant yowling of a mountain cat. "),
("rumor_talki_myst_17", "he heard a group of caravan guards arguing with the master. They wanted more money and they demanded he hire more guards. You watch, prices are going to go up on everything. Bloody Mystmountains refuse to leave well enough alone. Who will chase them back into their caves this time, that's what I'd like to know."),
("rumor_talki_myst_18", "he told me that another caravan has been lost to raiders. That is not all that unlikely in this day and age, but this caravan? It was south of Balanli. That is further than they have ever struck before. At this rate they will end up bringing in those leaf-eating Noldor! And here's us, nicely caught smack in the middle. "),
("rumor_talki_myst_19", "he told me to be on the lookout for you, {playername}. Apparently, you are a popular topic of Mystmountain conversations. And, it is not because of your winning personality, if ya take my meaning."),
("rumor_talki_myst_20", "he said he had just returned from a successful campaign against the Mystmountain Raiders that have been plaguing Dugan. Did you know the Mystmountains never eat meat? Their whole diet consists of horsemilk cheese and coarse bread. Figure they leave the meat for Vejovis, or something."),
("rumor_talki_noldor1_1", "he said some Barclay traders he met when they first landed in Javiksholm left there with the intention of buying Noldor artifacts, but were waylaid by the Jatu and killed."),
("rumor_talki_noldor1_2", "he heard a trader say that the Noldor resent the fact that they have to sell their goods to humans. They think their crafts are too good for our kind, I guess."),
("rumor_talki_noldor1_3", "he said he overheard Ramun say that when he gets hold of a Noldor woman, she never goes up for public sale. He puts Noldor gals into his 'private stock,' reserved for his best class of customer, and gets bushels of denars for them."),
("rumor_talki_noldor1_4", "he heard in Janos that one of the Empire Lords rescued some Noldor Rangers from a band of Snake Cultists, and has enlisted them into his warband. What a lucky dog he is! With them on his walls, his castle is safe as houses from besiegers."),
("rumor_talki_noldor1_5", "he heard from a captured thief that a Sarleon Lord bought a Noldor Maiden Ranger from the Red Brotherhood and keeps her locked up in his castle tower. I wonder what his lady wife thinks of that."),

("rumor_talki_noldor1_11", "he heard the Noldor are venturing further into the Empire, chasing groups of Snakes. I pray they get them all, but that is too much to hope for!"),
("rumor_talki_noldor1_12", "he heard that the Noldor enlist peasants freed from the bandits and Jatu they kill, and even sneak into the Empire to recruit, when the Lords are not looking."),
("rumor_talki_noldor1_13", "he heard a rumor that the Noldor are backing some new Warlord, who hates Jatu even more than he detests the rest of us humans."),
("rumor_talki_noldor1_14", "he said a Sarleon Halberdier told him he would rather face fifty Jatu than ten Noldor Rangers. He says they never miss their targets and can shoot from a greater distance than a Sarleon Longbowmen."),
("rumor_talki_noldor1_15", "he heard some collector in Rane was paying serious money for any Noldor artifacts he could get his hands on."),
("rumor_talki_noldor1_16", "he said the traders are unable to procure enough Noldor goods these days. The Noldor are keeping more to themselves and even refusing to trade with their usual buyers."),
("rumor_talki_noldor1_17", "he heard of an auction sale in Laria that is invitation only, restricted to Lords. They have to put up a deposit of 1000 denars just to get in the door. The Red Brotherhood is selling some Noldor Maiden Rangers to the highest bidders."),
("rumor_talki_noldor1_18", "he said the Red Brotherhood bought a Noldor Ranger from some deserters, but the Ranger got his hands on a sword, killed six of the Redboys and escaped. They are still mourning their lost profit on him, no doubt."),
("rumor_talki_noldor1_19", "he heard a mercenary from the Fierdsvain declare in the Laria tavern that he would prefer to take on ten Valkyries in a fight, as opposed to a pair of Noldor Maiden Rangers. He said he might survive a fight with the Valkyries."),
("rumor_talki_noldor1_20", "he heard in Poinsbruk that the Noldor fought a great battle with the Jatu, and that both sides were hurt badly, but the Noldor won in the end."),
("rumor_talki_noldor1_21", "he said it is rumored that there is a secret passage into the hidden Noldor city, but nobody has ever found it."),
("rumor_talki_trav_1", "he said the life of a traveller is never dull. His work as a miller grew confining and he never got out of his village. One day, he sold his mill and took to the road."),
("rumor_talki_trav_2", "he said there are certain stones which are, in fact, the tears of a dragon. He set out to try and acquire one for himself. You don't happen to have one do you? Ah never mind, the gems are doubtless just some hopeless fantasy."),
("rumor_talki_trav_3", "he said the Noldor are a most interesting people but very secretive. He wants to locate a group of them and write a book about their culture."),
("rumor_talki_trav_4", "he said that I would be better off travelling and talking to people in order to get information for my book, 'The Mysterious Musings of a Marvellous Mystic'. It is a collection of the wisdom of one known as Madigan."),
("rumor_talki_trav_5", "he said that the Snake Priestesses were young girls taken from villages by the Snake Cult. My own daughter was stolen in such a raid and I roam Pendor seeking her."),
("rumor_talki_trav_6", "he said I should join the army. I'd rather be sailing, but I get really sea-sick. Even thinking about the rolling, rocking sea is making me... Bluuuugh!"),
("rumor_talki_trav_7", "he said that knowledge is power. I have read more books than most people know exist. Now I am a student of life of the road, learning from the common folk and their tales."),
("rumor_talki_trav_8", "he said he asked him, 'What is your quest?' The man replied that he wished to find the average flight velocity of an unladen swallow."),
("rumor_talki_trav_9", "he talked of the final words of his father. My own expressed his disappointment at not having seen the world beyond his farm. He made me promise to journey the length and breadth of Pendor and recount to him my adventures when I join him in the afterlife."),
("rumor_talki_trav_10", "he said... acorn, almond, beech, cashew... he knew a Knight of the Radiant Cross with the biggest list of nuts in Pendor. Chestnut, coconut, hazelnut, hickory, macadamia...So I bet that... Ogbono, paradisenut, peanut... mine was the larger list. My colleagues however think I have gone a little nuts."),

("rumor_talki_trav_16", "he said a wise man once told him to talk to everyone he met.  Much valuable information can be gleaned from idle tavern conversations and gossip in the markets."),
("rumor_talki_trav_17", "he said a captain he knew had actually purchased a Knight of Dawn in a tavern.  He was being held for ransom by the Red Brotherhood, and his cost was remarkably cheap."),
("rumor_talki_trav_18", "he said the man was marvelously strong and vigorous, due to an elixir he'd purchased from some wandering fellow.  Cost him a Qualis Gem, but was worth it."),
("rumor_talki_trav_19", "he said the village militias often know more than they let on about enemies in their area.  If they like you, they will tip you off as to where they are."),

("rumor_talki_trav_22", "he said he'd refused to pay 10 denars for rumors from a traveller, and lived to regret it.  His caravan was overrun by a Mystmountain army the very next day.  Now, he pays 10 denars gladly to hear the news."),
("rumor_talki_trav_23", "he talked about the hidden chests in a couple of towns and said he'd bought a map to find one of them.  It wasn't there but now, the fool is looking for the man who has the map to the other one.  He thinks he might get some kind of gem out of it."),
("rumor_talki_trav_24", "he said that gambling with guild masters was risky if you lost, but very profitable if you won."),
("rumor_talki_trav_25", "he said that the training fields were an underused benefit to all warriors.  Everybody, regardless of experience, needs to keep his hand in!"),
("rumor_talki_trav_26", "he told him that no man worth his salt would disdain conversation with the arms instructors in the training fields.  Their conversation is frequently spicey, too!"),
("rumor_talki_trav_27", "he said he'd heard the old gods of Pendor sometimes speak when they have a message to deliver, but I never met anybody they had spoken to.  Claptrap, I say."),
("rumor_talki_trav_28", "he said a sea captain told him about some island called Veccavi, where the women run everything and the men are slaves.  Did you ever hear of such a thing?"),
("rumor_talki_trav_29", "he heard in the Empire whispers of an escaped Snake Priestess now at large in Pendor.  There was some sort of power dust-up in whatever their hierarchy was, and she was on the losing side."),
("rumor_talki_trav_30", "he was told that rumors have more weight than most people think.  Sometimes, it seems as if the rumor presages the event.  Odd thing, that."),
("player_ask_radcr_1", "I thought the Radiant Cross were doctors; why have you militarized?"),
("player_ask_ravspr_1", "I thought that the Order of the Raven Spear was composed of scholars?"),

("player_ask_koe_1", "I understand that your Order split from the Order of Dawn. What caused the rift?"),

("player_ask_silv_1", "Word has it that your order admires the Noldor; can you tell me more?"),
("player_ask_cc_1", "Why does your order choose to use horse archers?"),
("player_ask_falc_1", "They say that your order was banned by King Gregory."),
("radcr_response_1", "When Marius Imperator reinstated our Order he tasked us with finding a cure to the Snake Cult Plague and defending his physicians from them. We have a cadre of soldiers recruited from both the peasantry and the nobility. Our Plaguewardens serve as guardians for the physicians as they search for a cure, while our mounted knights take to the battlefield to fight the plague with sword and lance. Whatever role they played in life before, all members of the radiant cross share the same purpose; the defense of our physicians and battling the Snake Cult."),
("ravspr_response_1", "We are, but due to incursions from the Mystmountain armies on our university-strongholds we were forced to take up arms to defend wisdom and civilisation."),
("ebga_response_1", "We exist to serve the greater good of the whole of humanity, though I suppose that sounds a bit pompous. We consider ourselves above petty matters and politics, the squabbles of kings and queens."),
("koe_response_1", "The Order of Dawn is riddled with fanatics whose twisted beliefs and violence against the populace are despicable. We split from them because they are rotten to the core."),
("shle_response_1", "Our Ironbred stallions date to the old days of the Empire. They are strong, very fast and aid us in swiftly crushing our enemies. We value them highly, but they are difficult to breed and train, so our supply of them is limited."),
("kod_response_1", "Our sworn mission is to root out evil; our swords and lances are the instruments of Astraea. When we strike down a sinner, we are doing the sanctified work of the Goddess. She has blessed us even in this godforsaken place. Soldiers of the Fierdsvain, foot-knights and commoners have converted and flocked to our holding in Valonbray. They now serve us under the banner of the now defunct order of the Wyvern. The Wyverns protected their land long ago and now our new Wyverns fight to protect Pendor from evil. They may be barbarians but they fight well enough."),
("silv_response_1", "Yes, our order holds them in great admiration. There is enough space in Pendor for us all to live in peace with one another. We can learn much from them, but also they are a force to be reckoned with, I can tell you!"),
("cc_response_1", "We are a highly mobile force which patrols and secures our borders. We need to move fast to locate and harass our enemies. This is the way the nobility of Laria has learned to fight. While the Lions of Sarleon have their rolling plains, the Knights of the East must adapt to the forest and the steppes. Many of the Larian nobility fight this way, have you seen the Larian outriders? Many of them are young nobles from Laria who wish to fight like us, instead of those pompous Lions. We may fight like the D'Shar, which is the best for most situations, but that does not mean we forego the traditional ways of knightly battle. We still bear spear and sword with pride and skill."),
("falc_response_1", "True, my friend, but we have a past in which we take pride. Our original company which founded the order was formed by Validus Charta. It was not disbanded until King Gregory betrayed us and his sister."),
("player_ask_radcr_2", "Wait, the 'Snake Cult' plague? I thought it was the Red Plague?"),
("player_ask_ravspr_2", "A pack of ancient scholars don platemail and equip swords to stand against barbarians?"),
("player_ask_ebga_2", "I see.  What of the Noldor then?"),

("player_ask_shle_2", "Please excuse my question, but why is your Order at odds with the Radiant Cross?"),
("player_ask_kod_2", "How do you determine who is guilty and who is innocent?"),
("player_ask_silv_2", "They say that few bowmen can shoot a arrow as far as a Silvermist - what's your secret?"),
("player_ask_cc_2", "Why is your order called the Knights of the Clarion Call?"),
("player_ask_falc_2", "Your Order is the only one which permits women to join - tell me about that?"),
("radcr_response_2", "Yes, there is new evidence suggesting the Red Plague was in fact spread by the Snake Cult as a precursor to their invasion of Pendor. Marius believes that his New Empire here has become a threat to the ideals of the Old Empire and that they intend to undo all his work by spreading another plague.  Rumor holds that the Snake Cult dominates the Old Empire now and wants to spread its influence here."),
("ravspr_response_2", "No, not at all. The students and scholars continue our most important work, that of academia. They have always employed groups of adventurers like us to aid their research and discover lost lore. We also fight for them as required."),
("ebga_response_2", "Filthy tree rats hiding in the shadows. They're like a curse. That Red Plague which damn near ended life in Pendor came from them, I'd wager. They ever lurk in ambush. Only way to deal with Noldor is a bolt between the eyes."),
("koe_response_2", "Their paranoia and fanaticism led them to murder for what they deemed blasphemy, and was frequently merely accidental on the part of their victims. They once burned a whole village, lock, stock, and peasants. They burned one of our most revered Brothers at the stake! Their reason? They thought his scholarly research was heretical.  Another time, they put a merchant to the stake because he spat in the street when some of them rode by."),
("shle_response_2", "We accept the true faith of the Old Empire unquestioningly. Those misguided fools of the Radiant Cross are blind and fail to accept our traditional faith. They endlessly question that which we accept upon a leap of faith. We cannot make them see reason."),
("kod_response_2", "After all, every human is guilty of something! When in doubt, we simply burn them all. Our wise goddess will sort them out."),
("silv_response_2", "We learned from the Noldor. They hold that the bow is an extension of the body.  They become one with the bow physically and with the arrow mentally. We meditate before battle to achieve this melding of weapon and soul. Some have used this philosophy with other weapons, such as our halberdiers."),
("cc_response_2", "The Clarion Call name stems from our answering the call to protect the frontier, to advance against our enemies, and to demonstrate that those who bear arms against us forfeit their lives."),
("falc_response_2", "In the past, one of the five original founding members was Valera, a woman of great skill and bravery.  In honor of her memory, we open our ranks to women of skill and strength. The ones who emulate Valera's virtues the best are entered into the Talons."),
("player_ask_radcr_3", "The New Empire? I thought it was just called the Empire."),
("player_ask_ravspr_3", "So you are therefore an Order of mercenaries?"),
("player_ask_ebga_3", "Yet some scholars embrace the elder knowledge of the Noldor and claim to have reached enlightenment from it."),
("player_ask_koe_3", "I gather then, that your Order's previous affiliation with them is non-existant?"),
("player_ask_shle_3", "I understand that your Order is somewhat at odds with Marius Imperator?"),
("player_ask_kod_3", "I heard that once your Order burned a entire village and all its peasantry?"),
("player_ask_silv_3", "I heard your Order bears a grudge against the Order of the Ebony Gauntlet."),
("player_ask_cc_3", "I have heard people say that your horses are different from other Pendor breeds...?"),
("player_ask_falc_3", "Not to offend you with my question, but why was your Order disbanded?"),
("radcr_response_3", "It is, but everything evolves, as has the Empire here in Pendor. Marius Imperator is a great man with a progressive vision and he has graciously allowed us to assist him in its realisation. If you want an excellent example of his improvements, look at the new Immortal legions."),
("ravspr_response_3", "I suppose so, technically, since we primarily fight for pay. We prefer to consider ourselves the paid guardians and defenders of knowledge and the protectors of the scholars who pursue lost knowledge."),
("ebga_response_3", "Bollocks. The only true enlightenment for a Noldor is the light let into his skull from my morningstar. Till the day they all lay dead, I will fight them. I will stand with my shield brothers, hell, I'll even even stand with the Hammers. They may be dressed up commoners, but they sure can swing those hammers of those. The sound of one of their hammers crushing a Noldor ranger's head is poetic, to say the least."),
("koe_response_3", "I spit upon their so-called justice and honor!  It is nothing more than an excuse for mayhem and senseless slaughter. Astraea granted them no right to sit in judgement upon others. They hunt those they call Heretics but it is they who named us thusly. My Order prefers to look at both sides of the coin, and we do not pass judgement upon ignorant peasants. We prevent the Order of Dawn from persecuting the people!The people themselves are joining us, D'Shar tribals now take up the cause of the Eventide as our Ghilmen. They are no knights, but that sure as hell doesn't stop them from killing any!"),
("shle_response_3", "Marius seeks to turn us from the old Empire path we follow to the Pendorian ones. Those cretins of the Radiant Cross endorse the new ways but we follow tradition. What brought glory to our ancestors will surely bring glory to us! We would prefer to convert Marius to the old ways, to persuade him that the traditions of the Old Empire should endure. Marius would see us all become mounted knights, like those 'Lions' from Sarleon or the Dawn from Barclay. The only remains of the mighty fleet the Empire used to sail here are the soldiers that we had to train to become the marines you see today."),
("kod_response_3", "That corrupt offshoot Order of Eventide, my friend, spreads its heresy everywhere! They were founded upon hate, and death and hatred is what they preach. Rest assured, we will eliminate them down to the last man. They will burn in payment for their sins! Question me thusly again, and you may find yourself afire!"),
("silv_response_3", "Look, the last thing Pendor needs is an Order like Ebony Gauntlet. Don't you think there are enough people seeking to feud with the Noldor? When they are done hunting the Noldor, who will they choose next to hunt? Madness of this sort must end!"),
("cc_response_3", "We prefer faster horses than those heavy warhorses of other Orders, so we breed ours from D'Shar and Jatu stock and trade with their horse dealers for breeding stock."),
("falc_response_3", "When King Gregory usurped the throne of his elder sister, Madame Ursula, he claimed that ours was an invalid charter, with no authority to induct his sister, or any knights, into our ranks. He knew that we would support her claim to the throne, and proclaimed Fire and Sword against us to eliminate her threat to his stolen throne. So many of us were killed. Those few of us who survived had to remain underground out of fear for our lives.  Our numbers were too few to fight back."),

("achieve_gm", "You have risen through the ranks of a Knighthood Order to become its Grandmaster, a position of considerable power and influence among the elite soldiery of Pendor. Your exalted title wins you +1 Persuasion. You are a force to be reckoned with."),
("buriligi_intro", "Guided by me, you will attain Paradise through martyrdom.  I will open your mind and expand your conciousness, bring you to the light through my inspiration.  Pendor is a teeming morass of sin and I shall not rest until I have purged it of all which opposes the enlightenment given me by the gods.  All who fail to convert will face the choice of conversion or instant execution.  I like to eat dates and play takhte when the gods are not speaking through me, hee, hee.  Do you have a takhte board with you? Let's have a game."),
("buriligi_explain_1", "Only through me can you walk the paths of righteousness.  Ask any of my followers and they will tell you that, until they came unto me, their lives were empty, sinful and purposeless.  I give them a direction, a just cause and the will to fight and die for their beliefs. You will also enjoy the method by which, ahem, I aid such enlightenment."),
("buriligi_explain_2", "Do you play Takhte?  It is a fine strategy game.  If you have any dates, I'd like some.  Hee, hee, hee, just wait until I rule all Pendor. I will herd these lords and kings like sheep into my fold and slaughter them. 'Better living through chemistry,' hee, hee, that's my motto!  Did I ask if you had any dates?"),
("oswald_intro", "I was outlawed by my own father over a small misunderstanding, and intend to rectify this via conquest.  The rumor that I poisoned my elder brother is overblown.  A petty little mercenary like you can scarcely comprehend the methods of one so superior, but I will attempt to educate you.  Successful conquest is achieved through ruthlessness and artistic killing. Inspire terror in your enemies prior to engaging them, and the battle is won before the first sword is drawn.  The more hideous examples you make, the easier it becomes to cow your enemies into abject surrender.  Once I offered surrender but was refused, so I cut off all their heads and stacked them into a pyramid. Lovely sight, that."),
("oswald_explain_1", "It is quite simple - grab your enemy by the balls and his heart and mind will follow.  Do not release your captives, torture them and leave their mutilated remains for all to admire.  Ransoming prisoners or selling them into slavery is so mundane.  There are so many more enjoyable and educational ways of dealing with them."),
("oswald_explain_2", "I like to rope my prisoners into three lines: children, women and men.  First, I kill the children as their mothers shriek and plead for their little lives.  Next, I have my men rape the women while the men curse and struggle helplessly, then we slit their throats.  The men I torture to death in creative ways.  The next time I confront an enemy, I offer a choice between instant surrender or similar treatment.  You'd be surprised how often a stronger foe capitulates at the prospect of such a fate.  You look a bit queasy - did you eat something which disagrees with you?"),
("meregan_intro", "I am an easy man to understand.  My code is straighforward and my troop and I live by it.  When I take a contract to escort a lord's wife or guard a caravan, the caravan arrives intact and on time. The noble ladies are shown great courtesy and guarded carefully during their journey.  Hah, sometimes they are guarded more assiduously than they'd prefer, much to their chagrin, if you take my meaning!  We are very discreet, and are given confidential jobs, such as retrieving runaway wives or delivering letters which must not fall into the wrong hands.  Never a word leaks out, when I handle the job."),
("meregan_explain_1", "I have excellent female fighters in my company, so I detail them as guards for the ladies I escort.  They are well-mannered and the ladies enjoy their conversation; in fact, I actually have recruits from amongst the nobility - lord's daughters who wished for the freedom enjoyed by the women of my troop. My lasses can hold their own in a battle or a tavern brawl, as their would-be seducers have found."),
("meregan_explain_2", "Do not think our courtesy in any way hampers our efficiency.  My troops are ferocious fighters, one and all, and our reputation for relentless defense of our charges and skill in battle precedes us.  We are rarely challenged by bandits or other riffraff.  When a king hires the Gryphonsword Company, he gets a lot more than he pays for!"),
("kodan_intro", "No doubt you have heard that tavern ditty that begins 'My father arrived on a Vanskerry raid, and married my mother, a Fierdsvain maid, . . .'  It goes on to describe my exploits pretty well.  My company includes many former Vanskerry Raiders and their Fierdsvain-born sons.  My lads have a few bad habits, such as wrecking the Valonbray tavern once in awhile, but it is all in good fun, and I always pay the tavern keep for the damages.  They are a fierce lot and, thanks to my training and discipline, far surpass the Vanskerries and every other Pendor company in fighting skill."),
("kodan_explain_1", "My philosophy, like me, is very simple: I honor my word, do exactly what I am hired to do and extract payment by force if my employer tries to weasel out of paying me.  Koningur Valdis is a prime example: not long ago, he hired me to kick a little Vanskerry butt along the coast, which I did, but he then tried to re-negotiate the terms of payment for the job."),
("kodan_explain_2", "After I raided a few dozen of his caravans, he came around. I even deducted the value of the goods I looted from the balance he owed me, though I doubt he paid the caravan masters for their losses, stingy old bastard that he is.  If you want a job done right, my Ironsword Company is the company you hire.  When the Ironsword Company goes Pendor on somebody's ass, every lord and king hears about it within a day!"),
("syla_intro", "Confide in a worthless upstart like you?  I think not!  The corpses I leave behind on the field of battle will tell you all you need to know about Syla Uzas.  If you want to learn more, pit your paltry little troop against mine.  You will learn then the folly of bothering your betters."),
("syla_explain_1", "You are a glutton for abuse, aren't you?  I take what I want by force and no man can stand against me. I kill those annoy me as you would swat a persistant fly.  My company has never been defeated."),
("syla_explain_2", "I am here solely to negotiate a contract for the elimination of someone who has annoyed someone else.  That is all you need to know.  Pester me further, and I'll toss you to my men.  I'm sure they will find you more entertaining than I do."),
("shalavan_intro", "I am a former lord of the D'Shar, unjustly deprived of my holdings by the Bahadur Khan.  I have called blood feud upon him, and I shall take not only my lands but also his as well in revenge.  His army shall become my army and his women my women.  I will wear his crown and feast in his palace when I defeat him.  His head will rest upon a platter on my table as I devour his delicacies."),
("shalavan_explain_1", "That fornicating camel-lover had the audacity to command me, Shalavan, a true D'Shar, to cease raiding and send my men to aid his endless wars.  I informed him that he could damned well recruit the men he needed elsewhere, as I was occupied with the traditional D'Shar ways of making a living.  In revenge, he sent his men to drive me from my land and stripped me of my titles."),
("shalavan_explain_2", "He already feels my vengeance.  Since he named me outlaw, outlaw I have become and my forces swell with recruited raiders from the fearsome Pansjiri, Turkmani and Balochi raiders throughout the Principalities.  At the hands of outlaws shall he fall!  I intend to raze the D'Shar cities, execute his soft and lazy lords and restore the D'Shar to the nomadic tribal state traditional to our people.  Let Kadan sip wine, recite poetry and amuse himself with his women while he yet can.  His days as Bahadur Khan are numbered!"),
("boris_intro", "Doubtless you would, as most little mercenaries aspire to be just like me!  That is a vain aspiration, but I am bored, so I will condescend to chat for a moment.  My Ravens excel in siegework and are the most fearsome fighters in Pendor.  I deign to work for petty Pendor rulers on occasion, but only for a very high price.  Never think I don't get my price, too - they soil their armor at the thought of what I would do if they tried to double cross me.  They are feckless fools and one day, I will take their thrones."),
("boris_explain_1", "Pendor needs a strong and intelligent ruler, one who can unite the land under one banner.  I know in my heart that I am the hero Madigan prophecied would succeed at that.  Of course, I don't share that information with the kings who engage my services.  Hah, even if I did, those morons would ignore the warning!  I'd suggest that, should you happen upon us in the field, you beat a very hasty retreat.  You'll live longer if you do."),
("boris_explain_2", "We are not only superb at siegework, I am a most excellent strategist. The Ravenstern lords run like frightened virgins when they encounter us.  I milk those lords for every denar they have in ransom, too.  One lord, whom I won't name, even offered me the use of his wife and daughters if I'd just let him go.  Hmph, a man like me does not need to pay for noble bedmates!  I get more offers of that sort than I want or need!  Perhaps, if you continue to increase in skill, I may hire your company when I rule Pendor.  Now run along; you bore me."),

They have glittering eyes, small jutting teeth.. <shudder>, we are only poor farmers and need your help to rid ourselves of these filthy rodents!"),
("heartbeat_problem_1_d", "Some are very large and they are very aggressive.  Packs of them have attacked our villagers in the fields and many people are afraid to venture out of their homes to tend the crops.  Can you help us?"),

("heartbeat_problem_3_d", "Many of our villagers have come down with a strange fever.  A local Witch says she can help us, but she will not do it for free.  Can you help us?"),
("heartbeat_problem_4_a", "The old clan led by one of the Village Elders has killed four people of the newcomer clan.  The newcomers have killed six of the old clan thus far. This started over a perceived slight to the Village Elder who then raided a newcomer farm and burned their barn to the ground. This feud could go on for generations, if it is not stopped now by someone in authority whom the tribes respect.  "),
("heartbeat_problem_4_b", "The tribal elder claims a man of the of the newcomer clan dishonored his daughter.  The elder claim their man offered honorable marriage to the girl, when she discovered she was bearing his child, but her father demanded a ridiculous dowry.  When the newcomer clan refused to pay it, the Village Elder declared blood feud."),
("heartbeat_problem_4_c", "We've a disagreement over a stolen blue-eyed sheep escalating into a clan feud.  The Tribal Elder purchased the sheep from the newcomers, who apparently did not receive payment.  They took back the sheep, citing nonpayment and perverse use of livestock, and took a dozen of the Elders sheep as interest.  The Elder has sworn blood feud and the situation grows worse by the hour."),
("heartbeat_problem_4_d", "Recently a large new family moved into the area and set up several farms.  They need water from a small stream to water their fields, a stream that flows upstream through a village Elder's farm.  The Elder built a dam and asks payment from the new family to let the water through.  This has erupted into a feud which might turn very ugly.  We need your help."),

Once a bright eyed merchant who arrived at Valonbray with a small fortune in rubies and a dream to corner the velvet market, he was soon reduced to a pauper, having lost everything to cutthroat competition with the colluding Empire merchant guilds. But he soon turned measuring scales into swords, and applied his considerable business smarts into building up the deadliest criminal enterprise in Ethos, with hideouts and operations in every major town. He has attained his goal, for the price on his head is greater than the riches he once pursued. Now he takes great pleasure in relieving his former competitors of their worldly goods -- and worries."),
("quick_battle_troop_2", "Usiatra usurped leadership of the group of bandits that occupied Siri, a rural village in the southern deserts outside the realm of Pendor, in a curt and bloody fashion when she was seventeen years old. Under her direction, the band of ruffians quickly expanded their operations across the southlands. Her shrewd, decisive manner, combined with her merciless ambition which she acts upon with inhuman composure and cruelty, garners fanatic admiration from those that follow her. As such, amongst her own she lives a decadent, spoilt lifestyle -- built upon the violent plundering she exacts in her travels. Her military strength and natural strategic wit allowed her outfit to remain undealt with in her homeland, and now she turns her eye towards the rich lands of Pendor to sustain her war band."),
("quick_battle_troop_3", "The second son of a minor noble living near Marleons, Hegen was educated in the art of war and single combat. After being knighted he served as a paid knight in the army of the lord of Marleons and fought against the Ravenstern before leading a group of outriders that defeated a D'Shar raid near Amere. The ensuing counter raid and the following two campaigns earned him glory and fame as a warrior. Unfortunately, he lost any chance of further prestige when peace was declared and he was discharged. With no hope of inheriting and his skills at war languishing in peace, he assembled other young warriors and set out as a mercenary captain. He now hopes to take advantage of the fact that Pendor never lacks warring states in need of mercenaries."),
("quick_battle_troop_4", "Konrad is a professional mercenary from the distant land of Balion, far beyond the vast western ocean. Having spent most of his years on campaign and seen countless battles, Konrad has grown to love his life as a soldier of fortune. Though he once had his nose flattened by a mace blow and has received many wounds, he has nevertheless survived this harsh existence through the strength of his arm, innate cunning and pure luck. Hearing of the lucrative career opportunities awaiting a man of his talents in Pendor, Konrad chartered a vessel and crossed the sea with his men in search of new wars to fight in. A sellsword with no ties to any of the Pendorian states, he is more than happy to offer his services to any lord with a fat enough coin-purse."),

Already as a young man he has been along on many raids against both his distant cousins in the Windholm region and the Ravenstern. However, Sverre was always a sharp lad, and it didn't take him long to see that Pendor was a far more prosperous land than his own, and that he could have a better life here than among his own people. During a raid on Jayek, Sverre stole away while his comrades were busy looting the village and taking captives. Passing himself off as a yokel from the Chalbek mountains, Sverre quickly built up a reputation for himself as a fierce fighter, and he now seeks his fortune at the head of a mercenary band."),

For all of his life he has tracked the beasts of the wild for their meat and fur, living off the land just as his forefathers had done in happier days, before the endless wars. Now, the game is quick to take fright from the constant sounds of battle, and the wanton slaughter of animals by soldiers has left empty those forests that have not been burnt down. Facing starvation, Borislav chose to turn his great skill with bow and spear, learned from hunting stag, wolf, and bear, to the practice of hunting men, and his steady hand and keen eye have claimed many lives. Borislav does not care much for the disputes of kingdoms, and is only really interested in keeping himself and his men fed."),

Stavros' leadership and prowess were instrumental in ridding the area of the dreaded river pirates, but even he was powerless against the calamity that befell the city. When Zendar was razed to the ground by a great horde of sea raiders, Stavros fled the burning city in a crowd of refugees. After a brief period of wandering and odd jobs, he found a place in a mercenary company, eventually rising to become its leader due to his dedication and tactical aptitude. He now devotes most of his efforts to working with manhunters and local authorities against the sea raiders and other outlaws, trying to keep the land safe for travelers."),

Life is not easy for an adventuring young woman, and Gamara had to learn the ways of Pendor quickly. Taking the weapons and armor of a soldier who had attacked her after a dispute, Gamara now hides her beauty under thick Sarranid garb, and many never even suspect she is a woman -- certainly as a force on the battlefield she is as dangerous as any man. She has gathered about her a group of followers, and together they wander the war-torn land in search of glory."),

In times of peace, however, most lords must be careful when he is in the vicinity due to his daring personality and willingness to challenge a lord. Born and rasied in the slums of Ravenstern, he learned how to use a bow at an early age and ran away from home a fourteen. Now at thirty two, his archery skills are near perfect and though he can't ride a horse well, he can hit one at the furthest of distances.

While the other girls her age learned how to manage the household, Zaira learned how to best gut a merchant before taking his money. At the age of sixteen Zaira had killed more men than the average veteran in the Khan's army. Just before her twentieth brithday her father was killed in brawl with another bandit leader. As the only child, Zaira now took control of her father's band. After avenging her father, she quickly picked up where he had left.

Being bought out by another competeting trader, after losing all his goods and money due to caravan raids, he was forced to serve as a caravan guard to make a living. Despite his pathetic fighting skills, he soon found an employment on one of the more dangerous routes through Pendor.
